I am 3 weeks out from DS. I vomited today for the first time. I know I ate too fast. I still feel nauseous and I don't want to eat anything. Can only get 4 ounces of my shake down where as yesterday I could drink the whole thing. Is this normal?? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advance.

After I eat something that makes me sick.....I cannot eat anything else for a couple of days. It is like my stomach is irritated.... and I have to go back on liquid. I am eight weeks out and still have trouble eating. I may eat one day and it may be five days or longer before I can eat again. I have been able to eat a whole poached egg once?

Are you on solid foods now? You may need to go back on soft foods, like soft scrambled eggs with lots of butter...

Soft is all that I eat and Protein Drinks. I cannot handle solid foods at all and some days can't handle food period. I haven't been able to eat eggs. I ate a whole poached egg once..... Usually after a couple of bites I can tell it is not going to stay down.

I am on soft solids. I'm doing really well if I set the timer on my phone for 30 minutes and space out my portion accordingly. I usually wait between 2-3 minutes per small bite. I'm doing tuna fish, meatloaf, moist chicken and as long as I chew well I've been ok. My problem was I went to a restaurant for the first time and with talking I didn't pay attention and I took too big of a bite and didn't chew enough. I must say I didn't eat anything else the rest of the day but today I was fine. This is a huge life change! For the better but still need to practice.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
